Man City squad feel they can complete ‘special’ Quadruple

Bernardo Silva admits Manchester City’s players believe this season could be special with a clean sweep of trophies still possible.

City kept their quadruple hopes alive as a controversial 3-2 comeback win at Swansea took them into the semi-finals of the FA Cup.

The Premier League champions were 2-0 down to their Championship opponents, but three goals in the last 19 minutes kept them on course for an unprecedented four-trophy haul.

“I think all the players feel that this season can be special,” Silva said after City’s great escape in south Wales.

“Last season was special in the way we won the Premier League. This season can be special because we’ve already won one competition and we’re still playing for three.

“Our opponents have made it very complicated for us to win trophies this season, but I think we’ve been doing quite well and we’ll try to keep the momentum.

“We have to keep our focus, knowing that our opponents are very strong.

“In the semi-finals of the FA Cup it’s one game, anything can happen against very strong opponents.

“The Champions League is probably the most difficult competition in Europe, very difficult to win as well.

“The Premier League is very tight this season with Liverpool in a great momentum as well. So no competition will be easy.”
